Sandboxing remote code execution in the distributed system RCE

Scientists and engineers are using a distributed system Remote Component Environment (RCE) to design and simulate complex systems like airplanes, ships and satellites. During the simulation, RCE executes local and remote code. Remote code is classified as untrusted code. The execution of remote code comprises potential security risks for the host system of RCE. Additionally, RCE provides full access to system resources. The objective of this thesis is to implement a sandbox prototype to reduce the vulnerability of RCE during the execution of remote code.
